OP... in exactly the same boat. Asked for a WFH week to decompress but realized that as long as I return to that environment, i'll be back in this situation soon enough. So i plan on having a candid f2f. Help them understand that everyone is built differently and If you can respect that, i'll be more productive. It's to the point where merely seeing them causes me anxiety.

I’m not a type B - not really sure that people fall squarely into types. I think some people operate with higher anxiety levels. Think about how you can set expectations so they don’t need to worry about things getting done by a certain time - some people operate thinking everything needs to be done ASAP - set fake deadlines etc
